Hi, my name is Brianna and I am a clinical counsellor specializing in youth ages 13 to 26, as well as parent-youth relationships. If you are a young person struggling with relationships, anxiety, depression, gender identity, or anything else, I'd like to listen.

I specialize in parenting, adolescent and young adult challenges, women's issues, third-culture kid re-entry counselling, trauma, anxiety, grief & loss, and depression.
I've been in practice for clinical counselling since 2010. Over the course of time, I have adopted a practical and evidence-based approach to clinical counselling. Some of my areas of expertise are anxiety, depression, inter-personal relationships, family of origin challenges, career/work and trauma. I have years of additional training under my belt but I've found that it comes down to the relationship between the counsellor and the client. In this case, it's what you know AND who you want in your corner. I enjoy working with a variety of clients, and most especially those who are ready to do the work to get the life the want!

Accepting new clients! This is definitely not what you expected. You may have thought that everything would fall perfectly into place, that becoming or being a parent would be the most natural thing in the world. Now, you’re finding that the fears, the anxiety, the self-doubt, the grief over your old life, or the disconnection from your partner are ruling your mind. You might be having a tough time sleeping, noticing some scary thoughts popping up, and just getting through each day is a trial. You wonder if you’re really connecting with your partner or your child(ren). You might be wondering who you even are these days.

Life is hard. As human beings we need connection and are not meant to navigate life alone. The relieving reality is that we don’t have to. I offer specialized counselling for individuals facing challenges with eating disorders, body dissatisfaction and problematic substance use. I provide support for a wide array of other challenges too, such as life transitions, relationship issues, maternal mental health and faith deconstruction. I work with clients as they learn to better understand themselves and their emotions, take better care of their nervous systems, recognize their innate value and worth and ultimately reclaim their power.

In my work with clients, it is not uncommon for them to present to therapy with multiple mental health and emotionally dysregulating issues. Clients' goals may range from managing depressive symptoms to getting their anxiety under control or learning how to self-advocate to overcome unfair practices to learning how to get to know themselves to live life more purposefully. Some clients come to do grief related therapy as they negotiate a significant loss in their lives. I journey with my client to work through challenges and develop appropriate coping skills and stress management techniques to minimise stressors in their lives.

Teen Counsellors
What does therapy for teenagers look like?
When a therapist works with a teenager, the pair will talk about what the teen is struggling with and explore solutions, which may involve interpersonal skills, coping strategies, medication, or lifestyle changes related to sleep, diet, and exercise. Different therapists employ different modalities, but most involve a combination of conversation and skill building.
How long does therapy for teenagers generally take to work?
There’s variability in teenagers’ experiences and challenges; some may begin to improve from therapy within a few weeks while others may take several months or longer. Teens can discuss their progress with their therapist periodically to assess how they’re improving and any changes to the treatment plan that could potentially accelerate that progress.
How do you encourage a teenager to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express your concern and love while framing therapy as an opportunity to explore a tool that could help improve their life; just like they practice baseball or dance, now they can practice their emotional skills. Give your teen control over the process where you can—maybe by weighing in on choice of therapist and signaling that therapy involves confidentiality, so a parent need not know all that is discussed in sessions.
How do you prepare teens for therapy?
You can prepare your teenager for therapy by describing what the process will look like and setting expectations for timeline, if requested. You can explain that the first session may begin with an assessment phase, that they can describe their experiences but that the therapist will ask questions too, and that it may take time to feel comfortable opening up. Ask how they’re feeling about the process and answer any questions calmly and supportively.
